DISPLAY DEVICE.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPH DIETSCHE, Junior, a citizen of the UnitedStates and a resident of New York, borough of ueens, in the county ofQueens and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Display Devices, of which the following isspecification.

This invention relates to display devices and particularly to that classthereof which is formed of sheet material and adapted to displayarticles of merchandise resting thereon. The object of my improvementsis to provide a device of the class specified, simple in constructionand economical of manufacture, and which may be laid flat for purposesof shipment.

With these ends in view my improvements comprise features illustrated intheir preferred embodiment in the drawing accompanying thisspecification, wherein 2- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improveddevice in erected position. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank, cut andscored,

ready for folding and erection. The two views are to the same scale.

Referring now to the drawing, upstanding wall 2 is the principal memberof the device and the face thereof may carry printed matter relating tothe articles displayed. Said wall 2 is provided with opposite downwardlyreaching legs 8, 4: having articulated to their inner edges 5, 6,respectively, rearwardly extending wings 7, 8. To the bottom edges 9,10, of said wings, respectively, are articulated inwardly extending baseportions 11, 12, The inreaching edges of said base portions are adaptedto abut one another, thus maintaining said wings in rearwardly extendedpositions and the entire device in erected position.

When the device is in erected position, said base portions 11, 12 mayreceive resting thereon and within the opening between said edges 5, 6of legs 3, 4, respectively, any article of merchandise which it isdesired to display.

It will thus be seen that my improved device is adapted to be integrallycut from a single piece of suitable sheet material, such as card-boardor the like, and tobe selfsustainingupon erection without fasteningmeans other than that inherent in folding the device into displayposition.

I claim:

1. In a display device of sheet material .to the bottom edge of each ofsaid wings.

3. In a-display device or" sheet material the combination of anupstanding wall having opposite downwardly reaching legs, a reari'vardlyextending wing articulated to the inner edge of each of said legs, andan inwardly extending base portion articulated to the bottom edge ofeachof said wings, said base portions having their inreaching edges adaptedto abut one another whereby said wings are maintained in rearwardlyextending positions respectively.

4. In a display device of sheet material the combination of anupstanding wall having opposite downwardly reaching legs, a wingarticulated to the inner edge of each of said legs, and a base portionarticulated to the bottom edge of each of said wings, said base portionseach having a width greater than the width or said wings respectively.

5. In a display device of sheet material the combination of anupstanding wall having opposite downwardly reaching legs, a rearwardlyextending wing articulated to the inner edge of each of said legs, andan inwardly extending base portion articulated to the bottom edge ofeach of said wings, said base portions extending forwardly of saidupstanding wall and having their inreaching edges adapted to abutoneanother whereby said wings are maintained in rear wardly extendingpositions respectively.

In witness whereof, I hereby signature this 26 day of June, 1922.

ADOLPH DIETSCHE, JR.
